Has anyone else experienced Ford disabling FordPass due to third-party apps?

Yeah it's a thing. Ford is/was working on an api that was supposed to be ready at the start of 2023 but that never materialized. I think it was called Ford connect. I tried contacting them with the intention of making a proper app but they never replied to the "contact us" message on their site. So don't hold your breath for any legit third party tool.

Best approach right now is to make a separate throw away Ford account and give it access to your vehicle if you plan on using 3rd party apps.

Dozens, if not more.

Happened to me when I connected my Autel charger to my FordPass account. Annoying.

But Ford actually deactivated my account and sended me a mail where they ask me to call the customer service

You said that, and we responded that it's happened to DOZENS if not more. What's your question?

I personally have not but I would not be surprised. I’m not a fan of Fords technology

I also got disappointed about this.

The Ford APIs are available. They are documented at https://developer.ford.com/apis

WTH? Did the guy personally offend you? First, his English probably isn't perfect and second he is probably asking if anyone else got deactivated and a notice to call ford. His comment cost you nothing and you had no obligation to respond. Snarky, unwarranted replies are not a good look.
